After School Snacks That Feel Like a Treat (But Are Better for You!)
The school day might end at 3 o’clock, but hungry tummies don’t stop there! When the kids come home looking for something to munch on, it can be tempting to reach for biscuits or sweets. But with a few simple swaps, you can whip up after school snacks that feel fun and indulgent, while still sneaking in some natural goodness.
That’s where Honeyberry freeze dried fruit powders come in. Packed with flavour and natural colour, they’re an easy way to add fruity fun to everyday snacks without the extra sugar or fuss.
Here are three quick ideas to try this week:
Supercharged Smoothies
🍓 How to use: Add a spoonful of Strawberry, Raspberry, or Mango fruit powder to a regular smoothie blend.
🥤 Why it works: The powder boosts both colour and flavour, making smoothies taste like a treat, without needing syrups or artificial flavourings.
✨ Top tip: Freeze leftover smoothie in ice lolly moulds for a healthy after school frozen snack.
Popcorn with a Fruity Twist
🍿 How to use: Toss freshly popped popcorn with a dusting of Blueberry or Banana powder.
😋 Why it works: You get that sweet, fruity hit kids love, but with fewer calories than caramel or chocolate-coated popcorn.
✨ Top tip: Mix half fruit powder and half cinnamon for a fun, warming flavour combo.
No-Bake Oat Bites
🥣 How to use: Mix oats, nut butter (or seed butter), honey, and a sprinkle of fruit powder, then roll into bite-sized balls.
💪 Why it works: These are perfect little energy bites, packed with fibre and flavour for hungry kids.
✨ Top tip: Roll them in a little extra powder or desiccated coconut for a colourful finish.
